A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 5 Find A Job And A Wife

A shiver ran down Python’s spine as he staggered and fell backward. “Don’t come any nearer. My boss is Leo, Mr. Calandrino’s right-hand man.” When the onlookers heard Tyrone Calandrino’s name, their faces paled. Quiana stepped forward and grabbed Finnegan while saying, “Stop fighting. Mr. Calandrino isn’t someone we can afford to offend!” Everyone in Jadeborough knew Tyrone ruled over the underground circles. Finnegan had intended to cripple Python and his lackeys, but he changed his mind after noticing the worried expressions on the faces of his parents and sister. He tossed the club to the ground and said, “Get Killian to come here himself if he wants to tear down my house. Now, get lost!” Letting out a sigh of relief, Python and the other thugs supported each other and hurried away from the Larkin residence.

Before starting the procedure, Finnegan performed acupuncture anesthesia on his father, rendering him immune to pain. Then, he used a technique written in Primordial Pharmacopoeia to reconnect the broken bones in the old man’s b*dy. After the bones were joined together again, the next step was to treat his damaged meridians. With the herbs delivered by Patrick, it would take at most a month for Desmond to completely regain his mobility. Quiana and Rhiannon, who were watching from the side, noticed a red glow emitting from Finnegan’s hand during the treatment process. Meanwhile, the parts of Desmond’s skin where Finnegan had touched had reddened. The area on his leg that was previously sunken was also bulging. Hope arose in the hearts of the two women when they saw that. Finnegan finally ended the procedure
